The Temple of Heaven in Beijing (21 pictures)
According to historical records, there were formal sacrifices to heaven and earth in ancient China, dating back to the second millennium BC, still in the Xia Dynasty. Ancient Chinese emperors called themselves "Son of Heaven" and they had great respect for heaven and earth. Every emperor in history regarded the worship of heaven and earth as a very important political activity. The sacrificial buildings were of great importance in the construction of the capital city of the emperors, and they must be built with the highest technical level and the most perfect art by concentrating manpower, material and financial resources. The Temple of Heaven, built in the late feudal society, is the most representative work of many sacrificial buildings in China. The Temple of Heaven is not only a pearl in Chinese ancient architecture, but also a treasure in the world's architectural history. The Temple of Heaven was built in the 18th year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (1420), and Zhu Di used 14 years of labor to build it at the same time as the Forbidden City, calling it the Temple of Heaven and Earth. Jiajing nine years (1530) due to the establishment of the four suburbs of the sacrificial system, in Jiajing thirteen years (1534) renamed the Temple of Heaven. After the Qing Emperor Qianlong and Guangxu rebuilt and remodeled, only then formed the pattern of the Temple of Heaven Park.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, heaven and earth were originally combined together to worship, the north and south of the Altar of Heaven are the same, set up sacrifices in the place called the Hall of the Great Sacrifice, is a square eleven buildings. The Ming Dynasty Jiajing nine years (1530) changed to heaven and earth to sacrifice, in the Temple of Heaven to build Huanqiu altar, dedicated to the sky, and in the northern suburbs of the construction of the altar of square Ze sacrifices to the ground, the original joint sacrifice of heaven and earth of the Hall of the Great Sacrifice, and gradually abolished and not used. Jiajing nineteen years (1540), and the original Hall of Great Sacrifice into the Hall of Great Harmony, round building from now on.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the country, everything was still according to the old system of the Ming Dynasty.

The width of the top of the wall of the inner altar wall is reduced to create four feet eight inches, without the columns of the eaves, to become a corridor without the columns of the overhanging eaves. After remodeling the Temple of Heaven inside and outside the altar wall, more thick, circumference of more than ten miles, become a very magnificent landscape.

Qianlong sixteen years (1751) after the restoration, renamed the Hall of Prayer. Guangxu fifteen years (1889) was destroyed in a lightning fire, a few years later rebuilt in its original form. Today, the Hall of Prayer is a 32.72-meter diameter circular building, gilt roof blue tile three eaves save the pointed roof, layer by layer into the total height of 38 meters.

The side of the altar also has the Prayer Gate, the Divine Treasury, the Divine Kitchen, the Daijia Pavilion, the Animal Road and the Promenade and other ancillary buildings. On the square south of the promenade there are seven star stones, which are the town stones placed during the Jiajing period.
The main building of the Temple of Heaven is the Hall of Prayer for the Year of the Emperor, which was built in the 18th year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (1420). The emperor held annual ceremonies here to pray for good weather and a good harvest. The Hall of Prayer for the Year of the Dragon is circular in shape, with a diameter of 32 meters, and the Hall of Prayer for the Year of the Dragon is 38 meters high, which is a rounded hall with a triple eaves with a gilded roof, and the eaves of the hall are dark blue in color, which are paved with blue glazed tiles, because the sky is blue, as a symbol of the sky.
The architectural excellence of the Hall of Prayer for the Year of the Dragon is that the Hall of Prayer for the Year of the Dragon uses 28 large pillars of nanmu wood and 36 interlocking lists and jiao to support the three-tiered conjoined eaves of the hall. These large pillars have different symbolism: the central four pillars called Tongtianzhu, on behalf of the four seasons; the middle twelve golden pillars, on behalf of the twelve months; the outer twelve gable pillars, on behalf of the twelve hours; the middle and outer layers add up to twenty-four on behalf of the twenty-four seasons; the three layers add up to twenty-eight on behalf of the twenty-eight starry nights; plus the top of the pillars of the eight children's columns on behalf of the thirty-six heavenly astrological deities; under the roof of the throne Lei Gongzhu, on behalf of the emperor to unite the world.

This pedestal and the hall are inseparable from the artistic whole. When visitors step out of the Hall of Prayer, looking south, only to see the straight tunnel, stretching south, all the way to the porch heavy, the farther the smaller, endless, there is a kind of feeling from the sky down. No wonder a French architectural expert said after visiting the Temple of Heaven: skyscrapers much higher than the Hall of Prayer, but not the Hall of Prayer that kind of lofty and profound mood, can not reach the Hall of Prayer's artistic height. This hall in 1889 (Qing Guangxu fifteen years) was struck by lightning fire burned, it is said that the hall of the pillar is made of incense wood, burning, the smell of incense, miles away can be smelled. In the following year, the emperor summoned his ministers to discuss the reconstruction of the Hall of Prayer for the Year of the Dragon. Because they could not find the drawings, the Ministry of Public Works in charge of national construction affairs will have participated in the repair of the Hall of Prayer affairs of craftsmen called, so that they make drawings based on memory, dictation, and then construction construction. Therefore, the Hall of Prayer is a building of the Qing Dynasty in the Guangxu period, however, the basic architectural form, structure, still retains the appearance of the Ming Dynasty.

One advantage of going in winter is that you can take advantage of this cold period to experience the effect of the acoustic buildings of the Temple of Heaven (the Three Tone Stones, the Echo Wall, etc.).
